As humans, we need two essential commodities to survive: food and good health. One cannot be prioritized over the other; they are unanimously working as a pair. If you’re healthy and have nothing to eat in order to sustain your health, you’ll certainly pass away likewise having food to eat and not taking proper care of your health. So we need both food and health very much in our lives.
For this reason, manufacturing industries, especially those dealing on food and drugs have continued to boom year after year because of high demands on their products. We often order for food and drugs from foreign countries either for their direct consumption or for business purposes.
Transporting products across countries had been the sole business of logistic companies and over the years, they have been doing well enough. It won’t be a bad idea to have a whole new way of handling logistics and this is what Smart Containers is poised to implement.
We now have a Blockchain Logistic Industry in our midst
I’m very much pleased to introduce the first logistic industry that will be powered by the blockchain technology.
Smart Containers is a Swiss-based technological company that aims at providing well temperature-controlled containers for transporting pharmaceutical goods and food globally. Smart Container combines IoT sensors and cutting-edge technology into a blockchain logistics ecosystem.
Smart Containers is out to improve on the already-existing logistics in the pharma and food industries. It created a seamless logistic ecosystem that allows all components in the industry to be part of its blockchain logistics. Smart Containers developed an ecosystem called LOGI CHAIN which will be the primary channel of logistics in Smart Containers.
Why Smart Containers?
You may probably be wondering the reason behind the invention of the Smart Containers blockchain logistics, right? Your thought is not out of place because every right-thinking individual ought to have considered same question.
Smart Containers was invented to add more positive input to the food and pharma logistic industry. Remember that parcel tracking, shipping containers and all other logistic edifice were as a result of technological advancements. It is just for Smart Containers to bring about a new outlook to the logistic industry.
Smart Containers has special interest in the food and pharma logistics which it considers sensitive goods that should be carefully handled. Because of the sensitivity of most transported goods, there has been increased quest for a reliable transportation infrastructure. Highly sensitive and important products like pharmaceuticals and food require maximum security, careful handling and secure transportation. It is for this reason that the Smart Containers initiative was developed.
Why selecting few industries?
Smart Containers does not wish to delve into areas that they won’t be productive. Also, Smart Containers have a good knowledge of the food and pharma logistic industries and is conversant with their problems.
The financial potentialities of these industries were also taken into account before they were chosen as Smart Containers’ area of concentration. The pharmaceutical industry has increasing popularity as it is reputed to have about $1.1 trillion worth of pharmaceutical products shipped globally per year.
Basic Information on Smart Containers
The Smart Containers Group is a Swiss Company Holding that has majority of shares on the Pharmaceutical application called SkyCell and a Food application called FoodGuardians.
Smart Containers had been active for the past five years and has been responsible in providing high-tech container technologies for diverse industries.
An Insight into the problem
Conventional logistic industries are centralized and often involve cumbersome tasks. Sometimes, food products when not delivered on time are perishable like the pharma industry.
The packing solutions used in logistics are not up to the desired standards. To back this up, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that about 40% of vaccines are almost lost due to transportation deviation.
How can Smart Containers solve the problem?
Smart Containers really has a good mapped-out plan to overcome challenges inherent in the food and pharma industries. Smart Containers examined the Pros and Cons of the logistic industry and came up with the idea of hinging its logistics on the blockchain technology.
Smart Containers will solve the food and pharma logistic problems by constructing and renting out airfreight containers. This newly introduced logistic format will convey food and pharmaceuticals using IoT sensors and cutting-edge technology.
Smart Containers also eradicates time-consumption such as the signing of about 200 documents in the traditional logistic industry. Smart Containers bridges the gap that a logistic company when shipping a product out of it base.
Smart Containers took the first step to ensuring a smoothly-run logistic industry by creating a seamless logistics ecosystem called LOGI CHAIN. LOGI CHAIN will replace the traditional paperwork and other disconnected information channel and also allows you fill and automate container billings using cryptocurrencies and the Smart Contract feature.
It also aims at decentralizing its ecosystem so all parties in the shipping process can have access to documents through an open source reader. In the same vein, other documents can be made public and viewable by anyone on the Smart Containers blockchain.
Smart Containers solves this myriad of logistics problems by tracking shipments using the blockchain technology. It also issues for a completed shipment through its Smart Contract feature. The Smart Contract accepts payments in the Smart Container ecosystem through cryptocurrencies.
